Bill Summary

Relative to notices to notaries public and justices of the peace prior to the expiration of their commissions. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to change a law concerning the notification period for justices of the peace, who are officials authorized to perform certain legal functions like administering oaths and witnessing signatures, and notaries public, who have similar but more limited powers. Specifically, it amends Section 15 of Chapter 9 of the General Laws by changing the number of days notice required before a commission, which is an official document granting authority, expires. Currently, the law requires thirty days notice, but this bill would change that to 90 days, and it also changes the number fourteen to 75, though the specific meaning of "fourteen" and "75" in this context is unclear without further information about the original law.
